See, my pain and my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
My pain, my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
To the friend that was fake
To the hustle that was great
Two state indictments one P.W.I.D
For crack cocaine they was charging me
Pigs act like they hit the lottery
Took them five years just to catch up with me
All praise be to God and I'm blessed to be
Any nigga ran with me was blessed by me
Did anything to feed my family
2015 they called my granny home
Last words from my granny was Junior be strong
No jumping off the porch
Walk down the steps
Held that rail
Granny said it ain't what you do, it's how you do it
Granny said respect in the streets will get you through it
All the nigga in the sky screaming nigga just do it
Done been there and done that ain't nothing to it
It ain't what you do boy it's really how you do it
I can let you hold my scope if you if you wanna look into it
Tell you walk that line
One foot out one foot in
All hope is green on the other side
My granny in the sky looking down and tell me still I rise
Then Auntie Londa saying stay right here we don't need you right now
The memories the pain
They all feel the same
The pain the memories
I'm trapped in a game
The vision insane
I say the trap is just a trap
Don't let the trap, trap you off
Make your duckets, be the boss
Get up off it, ain't no lose
See, my pain and my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
My pain, my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
Everythang that glitter really ain't gold
Like some of these niggas and some of these hoes
As the world turns that's just how it goes
Tryna fulfill some shoes that you can fit though
That some shit that I just don't get
Add more to your plate; take it bit by bit
Don't rush to the shit
These streets will suck you in, these streets will swallow you whole
Have you saying that's all I know
And I put that on myself
Wouldn't put it on nobody else
Put myself above the rest
Like the army be the best
I'm the one that aced the test
And I can do without the second guessing
And the extra stress
Cause I'm blessed
See, my pain and my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
My pain, my sorrow
I travel this road
Down this long dark road
And this the life that I chose
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter ain't gold
Everythang that glitter oh no
